Volume 37 Chapter 3 Candle Dragon's New Aspect (1)

When I came to Zhulongling, it took two days to complete the relevant procedures with the Secretary of the Northeast Governor's Mansion, and officially left a boundary post on the border of Zhulongling, and Zhulongling became Zhang Tie's territory.

Zhulongling is located in the southwest of Taixia Yangui Mountains. The entire fief covers an area of ​​1.34 million square kilometers. It is handed over to Youzhou, Tongzhou, and Yanzhou in the northeast of Taixia. Its population is 18.76 million, and there are ten cities in Candle Dragon's territory.

Of these ten cities, there are three cities located in Miyun County, Youzhou, namely Tianxuan City, Xinlu City, and Langyun City. The city is the largest and has a relatively large population. The other Xinlu City and Langyun City, one is a B-level third-class city, and the other is a C-level second-level city. They are all small cities.

Among the remaining seven cities, there are four cities located in Xingyuan County in Tongzhou, namely Ning'an City, Xuesong City, Yande City, and Qinghe City. These four cities are all second-class and third-class cities.

In Gaoping County of Yanzhou, where the cardinal of the Northeast Governor's Office of Taixia is located, three cities, Dashang City, Wugong City, and Dongyang City, have been assigned to Zhulong's territory. These three cities, Dashang City and Wugong City Second-class city, Dongyang city second-class first-class city.

Because Tianxuan City is within the territory of Youzhou, and it is the only two second-class first-class cities in the Candle Dragon Territory, Zhang Tie simply put the place where the Iron Dragon Sect's founding ceremony was held in Tianxuan City.

Zhang Tie's gold stickers were entrusted to the official post system in the Northeast Governor's Mansion to issue them on August 1st, that is, on the day the gold stickers were issued, Tianxuan City, Xinlu City, Langyun City, Ning'an City, and Cedar City , in Yande City, Qinghe City, Dashang City, Wugong City, and Dongyang City, two notices were posted at the same time.

The first announcement was the announcement that Cui Li, the lord of the Candle Dragon Land, founded the Iron Dragon Sect and would establish a mountain in the Candle Dragon Land to accept disciples.

The second announcement is that each city in Zhulong Territory will select country folks. From now on, all cities in Zhulong Territory, as well as the districts, counties, and townships under the jurisdiction of each city, will be self-determinated by the village folk councils at all levels.

As soon as the two notices came out, within just one day, the entire Candle Dragon Collar boiled, not only the Candle Dragon Collar boiled, but the two notices in the Candle Dragon Collar even blew like wind across the neighboring counties of the three prefectures.

The self-government of the countrymen has existed in Taixia ancient times. It is not surprising that the so-called democratic parliaments in other continents once advertised as advanced, but they only picked up the wisdom of Taixia. I just played with the rest of the stuff before, just changing the name and form, but the Zhulong collar is almost equivalent to a county in each state, with a vast area, and the selection of countrymen has become unusual.

The cities of the Candle Dragon Territory were originally under the official jurisdiction of Taixia, and each city had city lords and Taixia administrative agencies at all levels. , the nature of the Zhulong collar changed, and officials at all levels in Taixia became completely dispensable in the private domain. The entire Zhulong collar, except for Taixia's taxation and judicial institutions, the rest The existence of institutions and officials depends entirely on the will of the lord, and the selection of countrymen immediately expresses the will of the lord.

The so-called countrymen are people who are famous and respected in the local area.

For this selection, the announcement stipulates that Zhulongling will select 21 countrymen from each city to form the countrymen's house in each city. Those who want to select countrymen, as long as they can gather 3,000 supporting signatures, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they are permanent residents The legal subjects of Taixia in the Candle Dragon Land, who have not committed any crimes before, can be qualified for candidature, and can be interviewed by Cui Li, the lord of the Candle Dragon Lord, and the lord will make the final appointment.

Once the countrymen's house is formed, it means that 21 countrymen in each city's countryman's house,

He will control the power of a city, and his status will skyrocket in an instant, and he will be close to the city lord.

As soon as the news came out, the well-known clans in Zhulongling's cities were immediately moved by the news, became active in an instant, and became country folks.

What attracted even more attention was the news that the lord of the Candle Dragon Lord, Cui Li, the real Candle Dragon, had accepted his disciples.

The news of Zhulong Master Cui Li practicing the marquis-level secret method "Candle Dragon Scripture" has spread. If he can join the Iron Dragon Sect, he will be fortunate to become the direct disciple of Zhulong Master. He will have a powerful earth knight with a private land as his backer Not to mention the master, it is still possible to learn the supreme classics of the Marquis level. Such a good thing is a shortcut to heaven, and it will cause a sensation in all directions at once. However, the heart is moved, let alone ordinary people.

Originally, Tianxuan City, which was not noticeable in the Northeast Governor's Mansion, became the focus of the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion after Cui Li's golden post and notice were issued. The child suddenly increased...

...

On August 6th, shopkeeper Liu and his wife of Yue'an Inn in the south of Tianxuan City got up early in the morning. Before dawn, the two of them got up by touching the lamp.

The Yue'an Inn covers an area of ​​just over an acre. It has a four-story building and a courtyard with two entrances. It has more than 30 guest rooms. Although it is not big, the grade of the inn is only average in Tianxuan City, but this inn can have today's The scale is also the result of more than 20 years of hard work by shopkeeper Liu and his wife, who started from scratch. Therefore, shopkeeper Liu and his wife did many things in the inn by themselves.

Starting from August 2, the business of the inn in Tianxuan City has suddenly improved. Most of the guest rooms that were originally vacant, were all full in just two or three days. The few guys in the company have also been busy these two days.

"The ones who live in Tianzi No. 1 and No. 2 rooms are wealthy guests from Yanzhou who practice martial arts. They just moved in yesterday. They are a little picky about food. They don't mind spending a few more silver coins. You can go to the vegetable market in these two days Bring in some good food..." Shopkeeper Liu's husband and wife are the proprietresses of the inn, and they are also quite diligent and shrewd. When shopkeeper Liu wanted to bring the inn's staff to the vegetable market as soon as possible, his wife took him to explain seriously some.

"The kitchen has been a little busy these two days, please take care of it!" Shopkeeper Liu also warned.

"Understood, yesterday I asked Aunt Liu next door and sister-in-law of the Zhao family to help out in the inn's kitchen today. These two are hardworking, and they will be here in a while, so you can go!"

Hearing that his wife had already made an arrangement, shopkeeper Liu felt relieved and took a clerk in the shop, sat on the back of the tricycle by himself, and asked the clerk to ride the tricycle to the vegetable market together.

At this time, the people who came to the vegetable market to buy vegetables were almost all the owners of restaurants and inns in the city, as well as housekeepers and assistants of some big families.

After buying all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, Boss Liu saw that a hunter had brought a snow deer. It was probably just caught last night. The meat was still fresh and tender. He and Boss Zhou, another restaurant owner, made a calculation and ate half of the snow deer each, weighed it and loaded it on a tricycle.

After finishing all this, half an hour has passed, Boss Liu came to the door of Rong Shengxiang's old store to get today's beef and mutton.

Because he was a regular customer, Rong Shengxiang's clerk didn't need to order when he saw old shopkeeper Liu coming, he had already carried the meat prepared for shopkeeper Liu to his tricycle.

A box of meat was put on the car, and the car sank for a moment.

Today's share seems to be a bit too much!

Shopkeeper Liu murmured in his heart, and then said to the chubby shopkeeper Zhao in Rong Shengxiang, "Shopkeeper Zhao, there seems to be too much meat today, and Yue'an Inn can't use so much today. It's hot now, and there will be more meat tomorrow." smell!"

"Hahaha, not much, not much, even if they were former customers, they are regular customers, and the price will be 20% off for shopkeeper Liu..." Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile.

Hearing what shopkeeper Zhao, who has always been called the iron rooster, said, shopkeeper Liu suddenly felt worried. He carefully inspected the beef and mutton. They were all fresh and of good quality. There was no problem. Could it be that the iron rooster had changed his sex.

Shopkeeper Zhao walked over with a smile on his face, and took out a roll of white cloth, "Hey, shopkeeper Liu, don't worry, it's just that our Rong Shengxiang's Qian Dadong's family is collecting signatures and support from the countrymen these days, and ordered Come down, Rong Shengxiang has discounts for old customers these days, as long as shopkeeper Liu saves face, sign here, and then take this back to let the guys in your inn take turns to sign or press fingerprints, In the next month, shopkeeper Liu will come here to get meat at this price..."

Hearing Shopkeeper Zhao's words, Shopkeeper Liu's eyes widened in surprise, "Ah, Dadong Qian's family also wants to select a countryman from Xuantian City?"

In the inn, you only need to listen to the conversations of diners who come and go from south to north in the inn every day. There is no shopkeeper Liu who does not know about the whole Tianxuan City, even Youzhou and Taixia. Shopkeeper Liu knew about such a big matter as the selection of countrymen by the leader.

"Our Dadong Qian's family can be regarded as the number one person in Xuantian City, and there are more than ten slaughterhouses in the pastures and farms under him. One-third of the meat eaten in Tianxuan City is supplied by our Dadong Qian's family. If we can choose a countryman, our Qian Dadong family will naturally be able to choose!" Shopkeeper Zhao, who was still smiling just now, saw the surprised look on Shopkeeper Liu's face, and his face suddenly became serious, "Could it be that Shopkeeper Liu thinks that we come from humble backgrounds and looks down on us? We butchers and butchers!"

Shopkeeper Liu quickly showed a smile on his face, "Where would it be? I'm just surprised that the total number of employees under Qian Dadong's family is four to five thousand. For the signature of support, Qian Dadong only needs to say one word. We need to make up the numbers!"

"Hahaha, shopkeeper Liu, you don't know this. The more people support this, the more honor we have on Mr. Qian's family. I heard that even Mr. Feng in Tianxuan City has to select countrymen, and five of them have already been recruited." Thousands of supportive signatures. Although our Dadong Qian family is from a butcher background, the bridge builders and road pavers have also done a lot of good things for Xuantian City over the years. No matter how you say it, we can’t even be inferior to a woman who is rolling in the wind and dust... ..."

The Boss Feng that Shopkeeper Zhao mentioned is another legendary figure in Xuantian City who can be called a heroine among women. Compared with the reputation of Dadong Qian's family in the "catering industry" of Xuantian City, Boss Feng's reputation in the "entertainment industry" of Xuantian City is also as impressive...
